Shows you how thrifty those Dutchies are...Queen Beatrix is one of the richest woman in the world, restoring a 1984 380SEL instead of a new "Dutch Royal Maybach Landaulet"

What is a Caruna? Convertible? I had a 380SEL (maybe 84 or 85) but it did not have the holder for the sceptre. Caught fire shortly after I had the cat replaced and was a total loss; I always wondered if the shop forgot to re-install the heat shield.

Wow thats a nice car! I hope they stiffend it up a bit, sure they did.
Just goes to show you that the W126 still holds some weight in certain circles.
